NBC announced the series and season premiere dates for this fall’s new and returning shows.
While many eyes will likely be watching This Is Us on Tuesday night, Thursday has been revitalized into Must See TV once more with the lineup of Superstore, The Good Place, Will & Grace, and Great News. With Blindspot moving to Friday nights, one can only wonder what NBC plans to do with the series. Viewership shrank last season when the series moved from its comfy perch when it aired after The Voice. Factoring in the post-air viewings and the second season saw a substantial drop-off from the first. Make no mistake, moving the series to Friday night will see an even bigger drop-off.
Personally, I’ll be awaiting the return of Superstore and The Good Place.
